What deafening silence? Rush's problem and/or culpability has been discussed here at great length. I'm a Rush fan myself, but no one is above the law. That means that Rush must receive the same punishment or absolution that others in his predicament get. For one thing we don't even know for sure what he's done.

By the way, did Clinton ever admit guilt for what he did unlike Rush who has admitted to being an addict of legal PRESCRIPTION!!! drugs for a legitimate, extremely painful medical problem?

"Rush who has admitted to being an addict of legal PRESCRIPTION!!! drugs for a legitimate, extremely painful medical problem?"

Which he purchased Illegally, thereby BREAKING THE LAW.

Sorry, you can't have it both ways. If you don't like the Law, change the Law, but as it stands, Rush either had a Legal Prescription for his Drugs, or he didn't. If he didn't, his obtaining them, and taking them was a violation of law.

Period.

Admiited on his own on maybe on the advice of his lawyer who also told him to get his butt into rehab so if a court case comes up he can show his treatment as way of influencing any court decision ( which would probably have included mandatory rehab )

In addition he has stated he took the drugs in private because he wanted to completely enjoy THE HIGH by himself

You have not heard him say I couldn't stop taking the drugs because the pain was too intense he said HIGH
